Luke's GTI Build Thread - Update June 2018
barelyrelevant:
Really nice project, I didn't realise the plastic steering wheel surrounds can be replaced. That's good because my wheel is in good condition but the coating has started to flake off on the surrounds and it looks really tatty.

Yeah, they're very easy to change. I bought a new set form VW but in the end I preferred them sprayed silver so the new set are sitting somewhere in the garage!

Nice build thread Luke. Looks like a tidy example.

Nearly time for its summer detail but as a top up in the meantime I stripped it down and gave it a quick coat of jetseal109.
Found it easy to apply it on a low speed setting with my das6 using a microfibre head. leave it for 20mins and buff off with a foam finishing head. Very happy with the results and saved my shoulder a burning 2 hours of buffing work!
Did the wheels while I was at it and found a tiny stone chip which I was able to fill, paint and lacquer so hopefully the white worm won't start!
